I studied textile &amp; dye chemistry &amp; am annoyed I can't remember things anymore. Just like in England they say Hoover for vacuum cleaner. Even to the point of saying how they just bought a Dyson Hoover lol. That is like saying I just bought a BMW Ford. Actually I wish my Ford was a BMW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fabric#post-1307343 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 19:27:21 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1307343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As the Wikipedia link suggests, I tend to see elastane in tags for items made for European brands (H&amp;M, ASOS) and spandex here in North American brands. </p> <p>(The data entry folks for Twice sometimes transcribe the non-English fiber content for items, and it cracks me up to think about how people are wondering what 'baumwolle' is, etc.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fabric#post-1307305 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 18:46:10 +0000 Diana 1307305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's the same thing. </p> <p><a href="http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spandex" rel="nofollow">http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spandex</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-fabric#post-1307302 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 18:44:02 +0000 always trying 1307302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Been seeing something called elastaine (hope that is spelled right) as a fabric content in jeans recently.&nbsp; This seems to be replacing the spandex, and am seeing it in new arrivals.&nbsp;Anyone purchased anything with this yet?&nbsp; </p>
